Revolution Records is a small store in the middle of Melrose everything. It's impossible not to pass by if you walk around. The place is a tad dark, they don't carry a lot of merchandise. What they have it's diverse enough: vinyl, t-shirts, tapes, CD-s, a bit of everything. Prices are kinda high and customer service can be better. Closed Mondays. If you're in the area, pop in, it's a cool store to check out.

They didn't have much but they had two records that I really wanted. Danzig live in Hollywood for $42 and Slayer - South of Heaven mint condition for $90. I had to decide on one. The guy helping me said he could play Slayer for me to test it out. Of course I bought it. thanks!

I came in Revolution Records not expecting much. The quantity isn't as much as other shops and I honestly expected to find nothing but old jazz and classical records. I was completely WRONG! Once you get to digging you will start finding some gems. From reggae to extreme metal they have something for everyone! But by far my favorite part of visiting was chatting up with the owner. This guy is a straight OG! He knows his stuff and I love his enthusiasm when talking about bands. You can tell this guy love what he does and is a straight hustler when finding things for his shop. Don't be discouraged when reading the reviews. He's just a guy running his shop the way he sees fit. 10/10 will come back again! Purchased this rare CC long sleeve while visiting Keep up the good work Joey and stay hustling :)

Yes, that is a First PROMO press of Art Pepper Meets the Rhythm Section, found at this store.

I HIGHLY recommend this store! Their selection may seem small upon first glance, but it packs a punch. If you're a seasoned collector, someone who only recently bought a turntable and needs records to put on the platter, or just looking for a gift to give your friend who's into vinyl, you should definitely stop in. They have a surprisingly good selection of Classic Rock, Punk, Jazz, Misc, and entire bins dedicated to rare records for the collectors (which I seldom see stores do). I visit record stores throughout LA and much of the United States actually, and this is probably among my favorites. By far the best record store in West Hollywood (which I think it qualifies as being in) Certainly the best of the 3 record stores on this side of Melrose, not as large of a selection as they Record Parlour per se, but very rewarding and honestly, with better prices on staple records (not knocking the Record Parlour, they're great too). I have never written a yelp review for anything, and never felt compelled to do so until I went to Revolution Records today (also I do not work for the store, nor do I actually know the owner aside from visiting the store, I'm just incredibly appreciative of this store, and I really hope more people can check it out!) This is what one of the records I found at the store (I can not emphasize how grateful I am to have found this). \/ \/

You're better off going to Amoeba Music or even Urban Outfitters, which is about 8mins away…read more Genuinely some of the worst customer service I've experienced. The staff managed to be clueless, passive-aggressive and weirdly condescending all at once, quite an achievement, really. The whole place has the atmosphere of people who used to be cool decades ago and are still furious the rest of the world moved on. You're selling records, lads, not guarding the master tapes at Abbey Road. Drop the attitude and try speaking to customers like human beings. Plenty of better places nearby to spend your money without being treated like you've interrupted someone's failed rehearsal. Cheers.

This is a great record shop located right off of the central Little Tokyo Shopping District…read moreCorridor. What they offer is vinyl. It's a simple as that. Plus, they have a lot of it. In terms of their actual offerings, they have a lot of used vinyl, some of it is very rare. So, if you're looking for that really special something, you may very well be able to find it at this shop. They also have a lot of new vinyl. Some of it is of the older variety, and some of it is very new releases. So, whatever you're looking for, you should be able to find something here. In terms of their pricing, it's all very reasonable. Even the rare vintage vinyl they offer is priced very competitively in correlation with the modern market. This is the same with their new vinyl, their prices are very competitive. They also offer a few other items like some cassette tape and things like that. Thus, it is your one stop shop for when you want to grab that special piece of music. The staff here are all really nice. So if you need any help, they'll be happy to help you out. Overall, this is one of those dying breeds of shops, one that offers a grand selection of vinyl. It's a great place to visit, whether you're looking for that special record, or you're just looking to look. Overall, it's a great shopping experience.

A video store for all of us intellectual movie nerds!…read more Videotheque sells some new and used DVDs and Blu-Rays, but their main purpose of being is as a video rental store and it's like no other video store I've been too. Their videos are organized by how a cinema fan's mind works. By category, by country, by director. John Woo movies in the Hong Kong director's section. Hou Hsiao-Hsien in Taiwan. There's classic porn from the 70s, 80s and 90s. There are Criterion discs. There are John Huston movies, Godard movies, Wim Wenders and David Lynch. Dario Argento horror movies. Sci-fi. Pre Sci-fi. Post Sci-fi. Brazilian. African. Silent films... I could go on and on. If you are looking for an obscure out of print classic film that's not on streaming, there's an 80% chance that you can find it here to rent. There is street parking nearby. The problem? I live in OC and this place is in Mount Washington/Montecito Heights. So if I move down there, I'll be renting some unheard of movies, that's for sure!

When we went to check the movie section a store employee was sweeping around customers in that area. My husband went to look at movies and he called him out, insulting him as "oblivious". The employee was too concerned about some in store concert, moved things around. But not about getting business from customers. Rude customer service! Well, that's why folks shop online. Who needs this crap? You go through difficulties to come and support a local record store and that's what you get. No respect! On top, not enough merchandise, poor selection. Dusty. We left what merchandise we were planning on getting and left. To never return! Stay away!

They generously spent a significant amount of time with me, allowing me to audition various systems, including multiple versions of the DeVore speakers I was interested in. What truly stood out was the completely pressure-free environment. There was zero rush to buy or make any decisions on the spot; their primary goal was simply to help me find the right sound. I eventually purchased my beautiful DeVore O/96 speakers from them, and the entire process was a joy. I am already looking forward to working with them again as I plan to invest in a preamplifier and a power conditioning system in the future. Additionally, Common Wave is expanding into a beautiful new space that is going to be spectacular to visit once it's finished. Thank you, Wes and Dmitry, for all your outstanding help!
